Landscape Design Themes

When you hire our virtual garden designer, the “Theme” of your customized Landscape Design includes several considerations, primary among them are the Layout of the Plants/Materials, and the specific Plant Species recommended for the Plant Pallet. The Theme selected should represent the new Landscape that you want in a General sense. There are 10 distinct Landscape Design Themes to choose from, including:

“Formal” Theme

This theme of AI-generated landscape plans presents a clean, orderly layout that relies heavily on Symmetry and Balance when locating Plants and Materials. Bed lines and Pathways are arranged in straight lines with right angles and Geometric Shapes usually play a central role in this Design Theme. Often, a Formal Design Theme utilizes a dominant, central element in the arrangement – such as a striking Flowering Tree, a Fountain, a Sculpture, a Topiary, etc.

“Traditional” Theme

A Traditional Landscape Design Theme represents the most popular theme due to Aesthetics, Maintenance Requirements and Sustainability. Utilizing “tried-and-true” plant species that thrive in your Agriculture Growing Zone, the aim of this theme is to provide a professional, attractive landscape to any residence or business facility. Design Objectives are met through the use of Anchor Plants, Multi-Level Layout and harmonious Accent Plants. This smart yard design theme is often utilized to highlight existing Architectural qualities of the structure or reinforce particular color schemes.

“Sustainable” Theme

A Sustainable Landscape Design Theme presents an open layout that relies heavily on Native and Pest/Disease Resistant (Eco-friendly) species. Plants that require little-to-no supplemental watering play a major role in this design type and self-propagating species are often utilized with Succulent, Grassy and Bromeliad-type plants included. Rocks and Gravel are often used as Accents and for the Static Ground Cover.

What our clients are saying about the ONLY fully-customizable,
AI-assisted Landscape Design website on the Internet

 

Great Customer Service

“I started the process with their AI plant selection tool and was basically completed when I realized that I had uploaded the wrong pictures of my yard. I contacted Customer Service and they were extremely helpful. They gave me a code to restart my custom design and upload the correct photos. They were a pleasure to work with and the landscape design turned out GREAT! Thank you so much customscape.ai – it’s been a true pleasure using your service.”
 

Benefits of PRO

“I upgraded to the Pro level for climate-based landscape planning that I wanted. The choices for plants and materials was very helpful as I have limited knowledge about what, exactly, will grow successfully in my area. Customscape.ai removed the danger of making costly mistakes when designing by only showing me what would perform the best. And what a huge catalogue of different plants they showed me! It was hard to make up my mind in some instances, but I am sure that I will have exactly what I wanted once the project is complete.”

Other AI Design Sites Can’t Compare

“I did my research and looked at about a dozen other AI landscape design sites. None of them compares to the level of choice and customization available at customscape.ai. I was able to layout the landscape I wanted and specify my favorite plants. No other AI-assisted design site offered anything like that. Thanks customscape.ai, I can’t wait to get started planting!”

Bought Design Package as Gift

“I bought a full design package for my parent’s condo outside Houston. They sat down together and designed the perfect landscape for their home in under an hour. Unbelievable application of new AI technology, great job. How soon can you get the site set up for the Northern Growing Zones, specifically upstate NY?”
 

Easy to Use for DIY’ers

“Customscape.ai has made how to design a yard with AI so easy and I really appreciate the Before/After pictures that show me how the finished landscape will look. The detailed Plant & Material list makes it simple to budget for the project and know exactly what I need to do it myself. Thank you customscape.ai!”

Not Much Landscape Knowledge

“I don’t know much about plants and everything I try to grow eventually dies. Customscape.ai made me a design that I installed myself and everything is thriving. My family and friends rave about my yard every time they come to visit. Thanks for making me look like a professional!!”

Benefits of Pro

“I had an idea about what plants I wanted to use in my new landscaping, so I signed up for the Pro-level on customscape.ai. I was AMAZED at the large number of plants that I could select in each category, all appropriate for my home’s growing zone. My final design is EXACTLY what I wanted and it was so easy. I highly recommend this site.”

Saved Time and Money

“I talked to a few Landscape Architects and they all wanted several thousand dollars to design a new garden for the front of my house. Customscape.ai got me the design I wanted for a fraction of the price and in a fraction of the time. Very happy with this service.”

Good value, Great Price

“Customscape.ai allowed me to design the garden of my dreams at a great price. I feel that I have gotten true value for the money, and can’t wait to start selecting an installer.”
